Be it known that we, JOSEPH BoRnEN and J AMEs L. TRIMBLE, both ofMedford, Burlington county, New Jersey, have invented an Improvement inGlass Bottles, of which the following is a specification:

Owing to the want of uniformity in the effect of the annealing process,and also from other causes, the heads of bottles are liable to breakwhen the bottles are being corked. Our invention has for its object theprevention of such breakage. Our invention consists of a metallicremovable head, fastened to the neck of the bottle by screw-threads, acushion of cork or other like elastic substance, being inserted into thejoint between the metal and the glass.

Our improvement is especially applicable in I the case of bottles formineral water, porter,

the upper part of a bottle, showing the several devices above alluded toin their proper relative positions.

(US the neck of the bottle, which has formed on it by the mold ascrew-thread, b. 0 is a detachable head, which is a casting of iron orother metal or metallic composition, furnished with a screw threadcorresponding to the thread I). d is a washershaped cushion of cork orother like elastic substance, interposed between the neck a and ashoulder of the head 0.

We claim- 1. The metallic head 0, constructed substantially as setforth.
